Yup, was thinking a JSON file - feels like there could be something better, but I guess that over complicates it!

Building a reusable landing page template to make throwing ideas around and gathering interest a bit easier.

Keeping it simple with MaterialUI for now. Using Deno + react + vite.

Probably want to read from config to maximise templating. Suggestions on how?

I really, really get the appeal for just being software dev turned farmer.

Just return to the basics, simple life

My partner asked me why we take so long to build things (software) at work.

It's a really good question, and very hard to answer. A big part is definitely slow processes...

Definitely feels like seasons are happening earlier now.
At what point do we officially admit it and change what's taught?

Heinz really sucks for not making their baked beans stackable.

It's even more fun to build with select others, btw.

YC (YCombinator) has a founders matching service if you want to find somebody to build with.

Just don't try to work with too many at once.

Building your own product is such good fun. You get to try all the things, and as you're working relatively on your own, you can move pretty fast. To top it off, you (should) be fixing a problem you have with current products too

Highly recommend it. You might even make some money on the side.

This was an incredible book. I couldn't even put my finger on why, but I just loved it!

If you have recommendations for anything similar, I'd love to hear them.

I love reading books, but it's so daunting starting a series that already has 20+ in it
